Of particular note, most of the backgrounds rely on dark colors (such as deep violets behind the grey mists) that contrast brilliantly with both the brightly colored enemies and the dazzling mayhem flying from your hands. Beams of white light streak across the screen, flaming scarlet dragons roar from the wand, bright blue frozen enemies bounce off the walls, and in general lots of things explode and shatter in ways that look oh-so-painful yet oh-so-pretty.

Maybe it's the bright, vivacious cover art. Sometimes you know you're in for something special. This witchy little tale offers a lot of opportunity to use, abuse, and master your techniques - all in a world that's so beautiful that you'll blissfully drool the whole way through."
